Chapter 42: The Remnant Sun Is Like Blood

After taking the scroll, Higashino Yuu and Kakudo didn't rush immediately, after all, it's evening now, so let's go over tomorrow.

It just so happens that they are in an izakaya now, and the two of them, who have not eaten dinner, are going to find a place to rest after eating here.

After ordering some snacks, the two of them found a random place to sit down.

"Don't you drink, sir?" Jiaodu asked casually.

"Don't drink it."

Although the wandering ninjas seem to drink, it is precisely because there are too many wandering ninjas who drink that the ones who don't drink will be special, of course, the main reason is that Higashino Yu doesn't like to drink.

There are so many people who are crazy about alcohol that Higashino Yuren hates even drinking.

Kakudo didn't say anything more, drinking the sake that had been served in advance while waiting for the other dishes to come up.

"Is it good?" Higashino Yuya asked casually.

"Generally, it's not a good wine, and it can barely be swallowed." The horns are all casually returned.

The relationship between the two has been slightly closer in the past few days.

Higashino Yu didn't ask again, waited quietly, and soon, the dish came up.

There are tempura, fried tofu, meatballs, and more.

After taking a bite of something casually, Higashino Yu looked at Kakuto, and Kakuto also happened to look at Higashino Yu, and the two of them understood why there was no one in the store.

Stuff is too bad to eat.

The two didn't say anything, but continued to eat, and although the food was unpalatable, they both could eat it.

After eating, they found a place to rest, and the next morning the two started to hurry again.

This time the journey was much closer, and the speed of the two of them was also much faster, and the two of them arrived at their destination in about half a day.

It's a camp, and it's a bit heavily guarded, and when Higashino Yuu and Kakudo came to the area, they were immediately surrounded by people.

"Who are you?" It was a grass ninja who spoke.

Yu Higashino took out the scroll, "Come and help your bounty hunters." ”

The other party remained vigilant and took the scroll handed by Higashino Yuu and Kakuto and looked at it.

After a long time.

"Come with us." The attitude isn't bad, but it's not friendly either.

Higashino Yuu and Kakudo didn't care and followed.

Soon after, they were taken to a tent in the corner of the camp.

"You live here first, there will be people shouting at you during the battle, and besides, during the truce, I hope you try not to walk around, otherwise we can't guarantee that no one will treat you as a spy."

Higashino Yu and Kakudo didn't reply anything, and Kusashinobi, who led the way, didn't wait for them to reply, and left directly after speaking.

After glancing at the somewhat rudimentary tent in front of him, Higashino Yu looked at his surroundings again.

There was not only Higashino Yu and their tent around, there were many others, some of the tents were standing at the entrance, Higashino Yu noticed that these people did not wear grass ninja village forehead guards, and some even wore other ninja village renegade foreheads.

It seems that the people around here should be bounty hunters with the same identity as them, who have taken over the task.

The small countries are not as powerful as the five major countries, so it is understandable to invite bounty hunters to come over.

However, combined with the location of this area and the attitude of those grass ninjas just now, it can be seen that they don't trust these bounty hunters that much.

After reading it with his eyes, Higashino Yu roughly swept the entire camp with his mental power, and Yukusa ran in a hurry, as if he was going to report something; There are those who are preparing for war, and their eyes are numb and they wipe the weapons in their hands; There were also the wounded wailing, including children of eight or nine years old and elderly people.

There was an atmosphere of tension and numbness throughout the camp.

Higashino Yu didn't perceive it carefully, so as not to be discovered and misunderstood.

"Let's go." Asahi said hello to the corners, and Higashino walked into the tent.

The space in the tent was not too big or too small, but it was more than enough for two people, and there was even a small table in it.

After putting their things away, Higashino Yuu and Kakudo sat down at the table.

"Kakuto, have you taken on a similar task before?" Higashino asked.

"Take it."

"So what does it mean to win? Or rather, I want to do this task quickly, how to do it. ”

"The easiest way to do this, of course, is to slaughter all the enemies."

"What else?" Higashino Yu obviously didn't take Kakuto's proposal, he would kill, but he didn't like to kill casually.

Jiaodu thought for a moment, "Suppress them with absolute force, let them know that there is no possibility of victory if they continue to fight." ”

"It seems like a good idea." Higashino Yu thought about it seriously.

Immediately after that, the two didn't say anything more, and each did their own thing.

Half a day later, the sun was about to set, and just when Higashino Yu thought that there would be no war today, the whole camp suddenly became noisy.

Hearing the movement, Higashino Yuu and Kakudo both walked out of the tent, and it happened that at this time, a grass ninja came over to call someone.

"Takishinobi Village is calling, you guys come with me!"

Higashino Yuu and Kakudo didn't have anything to prepare, so they went directly to the side of the grass ninja, and when some of the other bounty hunters came over, everyone rushed to the front line behind the grass ninja.

While hurrying, the grass ninja who took the lead explained.

"From now on, you are my subordinates, and you don't need to do anything, just charge with me later, understand?"

"Understood." The voice of response is sparse, and there is no response like Higashino Yu.

But this grass ninja doesn't care, his mission this time is to do everything to break into the depths of the enemy army, which means that their team is a sharp knife at the front, and he is the most important knife tip, these bounty hunters are just cannon fodder to help him distract the enemy's attention.

Soon, the group rushed to the battlefield.

From the momentum on the battlefield, it can be seen that the country of grass and the country of Takino are worthy of being small countries, the number of ninjas on all sides is about a thousand, and the number of upper ninjas is even more pitiful, mainly in the middle and lower ninjas, and the middle ninja and the lower ninja don't expect them to master how much ninjutsu, so the most frequent scene on the battlefield now is not ninjutsu fighting, but the kunai shuriken flying around.

In addition to ninjas, there are also some ordinary samurai who are also fighting, and they are supposed to be the aid sent by the daimyo of various countries, and in battles of this quality, these samurai can also exert good combat effectiveness.

It was the first time for Higashino Yu to go to the battlefield, and he could clearly smell the smell of blood in the air, and he could clearly feel the solemn atmosphere permeating the entire area.

The remnant sun is like blood, illuminating the earth bright red, making it impossible to tell whether it is light or real blood.

"Humans are so annoying!" Higashino muttered, still with the same cold expression on his face.
